A $I2,O0O,OOO Citizen Has Insum.
 cfency of the Heart.

It is reported that one of the best known business men in the United States, like all millionaires and heavy business men, is reap ing the benefit of the needless overstrain of 8 grasping nature. When a man wants the earth he generally pays for it. His physi- clans said he had insuficiency of the heart,
 which is generally known by shortness of breath on exercise and easily excited tremor in the chest. Sudden paralysis of the heart is likely to ensue and the victim suddenly drops dead. It is a trouble very prevalent in this country and is often mistaken for ner- vousness. In some persons it is constitu- tional. Not long since this man nearly lost his life in London after severe exercise. He came back to the United States and gave up business, as medicine did him no good. He took to drinking Moxie. The nerves of the heart recovered and he has been well and at his business again nearly year. He will not let the Moxie company hawk his name in the papers, but says he will build monu- ment to it. He should talk, too. If Moxie is what it is claimed to be the country should have proof of it. s27 StaW&aw

THE RACES AT HAMILTON PARK.


 Fanny Burroughs and William the
 Winners-A Large Crowd Present.
 Some Good, Steady Trotting Done
 TO-day's Programme.
 The fall meeting of the New Haven Driv- ing association opened yesterday. At the time advertised for the races to begin there was not great crowd present, but the peo- pie began to come from that time on until at the time the races were started, there were probably two thousand people present. Sev- eral hundred carriages were on the grounds. A portion of the grand stand was reserved for the ladies and it was well filled. The day was delightful one. Pools were sold at one end of the grand stand, but except in one or two heats they were not very active.
 It can be said that the first days doings great deal of enthusiasm shown by the spec- tators, but the fact remains nevertheless that there were some fine horses on the track, and that they did some elegant trotting. There was little breaking, the trotting being re- markedly steady.
 In the opening event-the 2:50 class there were six starters. It took five heats to decide this race. Mayfower took the first 1 heat, but did not make very fast time. Mo | hawk took the second heat and then there was considerable betting, the favorite being | Mohawk. Nothing was heard of William and he surprised everybody by taking the | next three heats, Mohawk in the last two l bringing up the rear. William made the
 best time of any of the horses in this race, | his lowest being 2:37. The following is the summary in the 2:50 class:

NEW YORK, Sept. 9,

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.
 The yacht left very little interest in the stock market to-day, most of the operators being absent and the dealings were almost entirely of profes- sional character. Western Union was aided by the telephone decision, New England by the dividend and Reading by the buying by insiders. Pacific Mail was quite neglected. Stocks opened fairly active and from 1s to B cent higher, but there was some pressure in the early trading and prices sagged off. A rally quickly followed and under the lead of New England and Missouri Pacific advances ranging up to 1ss per cent. were made. The market then became stagnant and after general decline remained near the opening figures until toward the last hour, when more animation was displayed and prices rose small fractions. The market closed quite firm at the best figures of the day.
 Closing prices reported over the private wires of BuNNELL & SCRANTON, Bankers and Brokers:

TMR COURT RECORD.


 The Munson will case decided by Judge Rob. ertson in the Probate court yesterday morning. In his decision Judge Robertson finds that ths alega tions of the contestants regarding the mental con diton of the testatrix at the making of the last will were well founded and that, being in state of mind wherein she would render assent to any di- rection given her. she was mentally and legally un- qualified for the execution of such an instrument
 The opposition began to look very cheerful but the pleasure vanished when Judge Robertson gra- tuitously advanced the further information that he had also pretty thoroughly made up his mind in regard to the first will executed in 1S5S but he was willing to listen to the arguments of the lawyers interested if they fit to make any. They didn't and the judge then said that he would also refuse to accept the 1858 will for probate as the decree Of divorce subsequently issued had, under a statute then in force, nulified it.
 The meat of his decision was to tue effect that the deceased had died practically intestate IL this this of the estate will be vested in the husband at whose death the property will be divided between the two This disposal of the eState 1t will be noticed,
 is the as if there had been contest the will had been admitted to probate, and the only thing achieved by the contestants to sink their money in litigation which appears to have been useless: Thirty days allowed in which to enter notice or appeal but it is thought that all hands are now sat istfed and that Judge Robertson's decision will be accepted final. An administrator will be ap- pointed in a day or two.
